Indian plants

Maharashtra-based Mohammed Dilawar, a sparrow conservation activist, and his team have restored 400 species of native plants, which they have planted across 20,000 acres. The beauty of these plants is that all of them are indigenous alternatives to non-native ones, helping keep the ecological balance in check.

Nearly 71 years after the British left India with indigenous plant species, the BSI is set to bring some of them back home from London's Natural History Museum!
